Solution

\[\text{ Suppose }  \square ABCD \text{ is the given parallelogram and AC is its diagonal } . \]

\[\text{ Let } : \]

\[ \vec{AB} = 2 \hat{ i }  - 4 \hat{ j }  + 5 \hat{ k }  \]

\[ \vec{BC} = \hat{ i }  - 2 \hat{ j }  - 3 \hat{ k }  \]

\[ \therefore \text{ Diagonal }  \vec{AC} = \vec{AB} + \vec{BC} \]

\[ = 3 \hat{ i } - 6 \hat{ j }  + 2 \hat{ k }  \]

\[ \Rightarrow \left| \vec{AC} \right| = \sqrt{9 + 36 + 4}\]

\[ = 7\]

\[\text{ Unit vector parallel to } \vec{AC} =\frac{\vec{AC}}{\left| \vec{AC} \right|}\]

\[ =\frac{3 \hat{ i } - 6 \hat{ j }  + 2 \hat{ k } }{7}\]

\[\text{ Now } ,\]

\[ \vec{AB} \times \vec{BC} = \begin{vmatrix}\hat{ i }  & \hat{ j } & \hat{ k }  \\ 2 & - 4 & 5 \\ 1 & - 2 & - 3\end{vmatrix}\]

\[ = 22 \hat{ i }  + 11 \hat{ j }  + 0 \hat{ k } \]

\[ \Rightarrow \left| \vec{AB} \times \vec{AC} \right| = \sqrt{484 + 121}\]

\[ = \sqrt{605}\]

\[ = 11\sqrt{5}\]

\[Area of triangleABC=\frac{1}{2}\left| \vec{AB} \times \vec{AC} \right|\]

\[ = \frac{11\sqrt{5}}{2}\text{ sq . units } \]
